Do we have a silly season here at Slaw? Earlier this week, when I saw that our intricate system of laws, rules and regulations had entered into hallowed territory, I knew I could finally, legitimately make a post about the Halifax Donair on a legal blog!
It seems that we in Canada have something entitled the: Federal/Provincial/Territorial Donair Working Group. Which came together to effect “A Consultation with Stakeholders on the Recommended Guidelines for Management of the Risks Related to the Consumption of Donairs and Similar Products.” You laugh, but Donairs are no small matter in Halifax. The Halifax Donair is nothing short of an institution and so when someone goes messing with the recipe it is no small matter in these parts.

As a sidebar, the CALL/ACBD conference is in Halifax next spring, and if you plan on attending plan on having a donair… preferably after an evening of taking advantage of Halifax’s numerous licensed establishments, the donair is yummy to begin with, but the taste seems to improve the late at night and very early in the morning.
